The Ford Bronco’s 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 already makes a decent amount of power. Its 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. of torque should give the SUV enough performance for most buyers. However, for those who want more, Hennessey has announced the new VelociRaptor 400 Bronco that gets tuned to deliver significantly more power and performance.

One of the greatest things about Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 engine is that it makes gobs of horsepower with a supercharger attached. Shelby is taking advantage of the potential of that engine for the top-of-the-line 2021 Shelby F-150 pickup.

2020 was a bad year for most people worldwide, with the coronavirus pandemic canceling all large gatherings and keeping most people indoors and out of work. The good news so far in 2021 is that the pandemic has lessened here in the U.S.

Some of my favorites cars are of the hot hatch variety – and the Hyundai Veloster N is one of the best hot hatches you can buy today. I last drove the Veloster N back when it debuted in 2019 when it was only available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Ford has revealed a new trim for its popular Explorer 3-row SUV. The Explorer Timberline is the first of the series. Ford says the Timberline is the most off-road-capable Explorer it’s ever made thanks to increased ground clearance, improved approach and departure angles, steel skid plates, a Torsen Limited-slip differential, and Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires.

Who says four-door sedans have to be boring? We can’t wait to get our hands on the new Infiniti Q50 Signature Edition, a limited production four-door sedan featuring a stylish Saddle Brown leather interior, exclusive exterior features, and a powerful 300-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 in rear- or all-wheel drive.

Ford has announced some new options for SUV shoppers considering the 2021 Explorer. Certainly, the most interesting new trim is the Explorer Enthusiast ST, which has the same exterior styling and performance as the Explorer ST.

Nissan has been offering vehicles that slot into its high-performance NISMO line for a long time. Typically, NISMO vehicles include sportier styling and often have improved handling and power. Nissan has announced a new vehicle that marks the first SUV in the NISMO line, the 2021 Patrol NISMO.

Shelby American has revealed its line of cars based on the 2021 Ford Mustang. This year, Shelby offers the Shelby GT, Shelby GT500SE, and Shelby Super Snake, all in limited production runs of 98 units each to celebrate Carroll Shelby’s 98th birthday.

When it comes time to buy a new car, many people dread the act. Automotive dealerships don’t exactly have a sterling reputation, and combine that with the fact that pretty much any popular car ends up with a so-called “market adjustment,” and the shopping experience gets sour quickly.

Some model year changes are easier to spot than others. My tester this week was noticeably and starkly different from prior years upon even the slightest of glances. The 2021 BMW m440i xDrive Coupe is part of the completely redesigned 4-series.

Back in 1988, Jeep rolled out the Wrangler Islander edition, celebrating the sun-loving nature of the droptop SUV. The Islander is back for 2021, marking the first time in 11 years it’s been offered. Along with the Wrangler Islander comes the Jeep Renegade Islander, a first for that model.

Anyone who wants a C8 Corvette and didn’t manage to grab a 2020 model is in for a price bump in 2021. Chevrolet has confirmed a rumor floating around that the MSRP of the 2021 C8 Corvette is increasing.

I don’t spend a whole lot of time in entry-level cars, but it’s nice to see that there are some nice options out there for people without deep pockets or who are just starting in a career.

For a long time, Ford has offered a trim level in its trucks and full-size SUVs called King Ranch. The trim is known for its western styling and an opulent interior that smells like a leather store.
